Anyone else watching this SNOW?!?!?!

This is horrible I didn't want to see this until january.

Anyone want to predict what kind of winter we are going to have? I am thinking lots of snow for the first time in a long time.

Wow, snow there already huh? I spent a little time in Chicago this last summer and it was a great town. I really liked it, but I'm not too sure about how you guys survive the cold. That would be the main deterrent from wanting to move there, not that DC is super warm but still not quite as frigid...

I wish I had my camera... it was white-out conditions twice already (NW 'burbs of Chicago)!!! But both times, it stopped and then the sun came out. How weird is that.

None of the snow stuck, but it sure made it hard for the landscaping guy to cut the grass he tore up a good section of the lawn and almost slid into the pond here in the industrial park on his riding mower made for a good laugh this morning

I left here wearing shorts last week, and on my way back, snow piled up on car and it actually stuck and began to accumulate in Kildeer on my way home. So Fall was somewhere between 4pm thusday last week and 4pm thursday this week.

Oh yeah it several white out fronts on my way back, no road salt but summer tires instead
